Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gibson Custom's Everly Brothers J-180 is a right-handed acoustic-electric built with a maple body, spruce top, mahogany SlimTaper neck, and rosewood fingerboard. Its L.R. Baggs pickup and preamp let the guitar connect to amplification for gigs or studio use, with volume, bass, and treble controls mounted at the soundhole. The ebony gloss finish, tortoise shell pickguards, and star inlays draw from the Everly Brothers' original instruments. A hardshell case is included for transport and storage.
